Thats what you get with Sam. He sells out on every play. When he a spot player its an exciting jolt of energy. When he plays in every game as he has done so far this year it can lead to quite a few balls that get by him.

95% of left fielders take that ball on 1 or 2 hops and toss it to second to settle for man on 1st and second with 2 outs and the scoreboard still empty.

Helli wasn't served well with his defenders yesterday. Escobar missed a ball up the middle he gets to usually( im not calling it and error mind you) and the 2 muffed balls on the first base side of the infield. Kept guys alive that should have been outs.

If I'm Hickey i'm reminding my defense his next start, 'remember Helli is going to get alot of weak contact, we dont need hero defense just make the plays routine and trust your pitcher to get you out of the inning'
